Your Team's 3rd Best Defensive/Shutdown Dman

[Jot]

You don't have to post your team's 1st and 2nd best.

Just 3rd.

This should give us an idea on how deep your teams defensive core is.

I really couldn't say. Our team is made up of puck moving defensemen, I'd guess Ekholm or Subban as pure shutdown leaders, followed by Ellis and Josi....

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

If I understand the question correctly


Josh Manson... I think

 

[SmellOfVictory]

TJ Brodie

I'd argue he's second, Hamilton is third, even with Brodie having a rough season this year.

 

[Beautvillier]

calvin de haan

 

[McDNicks17]

Darnell Nurse?

 

[MNRube]

Brodin

 

[NyQuil]

It used to be Marc Methot.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Detroit laughs out loud.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Hunwick? Danm this is sad

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Depending on how you feel about his season, either Muzzin or Derek Forbort.

 

[Lieutenant Bookman]

Hjalmarsson

Edit: just realized we were talking defense only. I would probably say Seabrook in that case

 

[Saltcreek]

Darnell Nurse?

I would not put Nurse ahead of Sekera.

 

[Nordic*]

It used to be Marc Methot.

He's second best?

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Sekera for the Oilers, probably a candidate for most improved considering we had nothing in 2013

 

[McDNicks17]

I would not put Nurse ahead of Sekera.

I have Reggie behind Larsson.

Klefbom is still too shaky sometimes for me. I guess Nurse has his moments too though.

 

[Aceboogie]

Sekera

 

[Punchbowl]

It used to be Marc Methot.

Really? Personally I'd say Phaneuf is our third best defenceman defensively. Methot is pretty damn reliable in the defensive zone.

 

[JoVel]

At the moment that would have to be Jake Dotchin for the Bolts.

 

[edguy]

Really? Personally I'd say Phaneuf is our third best defenceman defensively. Methot is pretty damn reliable in the defensive zone.

Agreed.

Karlsson
Methot
Phaneuf

So Dion is 3.

I literally have no idea.

I'm inclined to say Josi because I think Ellis and Subban are better than him defensively but it changes every night.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

3rd best at purely defence?

For the Oil that should be Klefbom, though if it's he's having a Klefbum night in the defensive zone, then it's Russell. Nurse isn't far out of this conversation too. All 3 rate fairly close together: clearly behind Larsson and Sekera, but ahead of Benning and Gryba.
